How many players were in each 2026 US Open tennis singles main draw?

Each 2026 US Open tennis singles main draw contained 128 players.

The tournament’s draw format was listed as 128 singles players and 64 doubles teams. That figure applied separately to the men’s singles and women’s singles main draws, meaning each singles champion had to progress through a field beginning with 128 competitors.

A 128-player singles draw normally requires seven match wins to claim the title, provided the player enters in the first round and does not receive a bye. The rounds are commonly described as the first round, second round, third round, fourth round, quarterfinals, semifinals, and final.

The main draw is distinct from qualifying. Players who do not receive direct entry can compete in qualifying for a place in the 128-player field, while wild cards and protected rankings can also affect the final lineup. At the 2026 US Open, Alexander Zverev won the men’s singles event and Elena Rybakina won the women’s singles event.
